Speaking outside court after the indictment, Donald Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche said his client was “disappointed” and “angry,” CNN reported.

Blanche accused the prosecutor in the case of turning a “purely political case” into “political persecution.”

“It’s a bad day… I don’t expect it to happen in this country. You don’t expect that to happen … to someone who was the president of the United States,” Blanche said.

He called the indictment “a document of complacency” and argued that it “does not allege any federal or state crimes that have been alleged.”

As for the allegations against Trump, Blanche said “we’re going to fight, we’re going to fight hard.”

The next face-to-face meeting in the case is scheduled for December 4

Ex-President Donald Trump’s next personal hearing date is currently set for December 4 in New York.

The indictment against Donald Trump alleges that the former president participated in a conspiracy to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election.

Prosecutors alleged that Trump engaged in an illegal scheme to cover up negative information, including an illegal payment of $130,000 ordered by the defendant to cover up information that could harm his campaign.

The prosecution claims that his reason for committing the crime of falsifying business documents was, in particular, “advancement of his candidacy.”
